In September, Cami invited me to go to Sundance to ride their ski lifts to see the fall leaves and then get off halfway to hike back down. I am very afraid of heights and normally I would have said no but I have really been working on my fears lately since Hyrum has been such a good example to me. He has really been pushing his boundaries, when it comes to his fears. I want him to know that I notice his efforts. I also want him to know that he can be an example to others so I said yes! But before Cami and I got on the ski lift, we walked around Sundance and took in all the beauty of the water.
I wish I could say that the ski lift wasn't as scary as I thought it would be but it was scary! I tried to keep my eyes open as long as I could but honestly, it didn't last very long. It was especially scary when we were going down. When going up, I could keep distracted with talking to Cami but not so much going down. Cami was so good to me and just kept talking to me to try and distract me.
I was so happy to get off that lift and hike! It was just beautiful. After hiking a while and with my heart not racing from the lift, I decided to be brave and get back on to go up higher.
After all was said and done, I can say that I don't care to go back on a ski lift but I can say that I'm glad that I tried.
